Title: shakespearian jobs
Post by Noke Lieu on Jun 26^th, 2006, 10:18pm

[hide] Appologies [/hide]
What Shakespearian play is the favourite of:

Physiotherapists?
Surgeons?
Financeers?
Postmen?
Chimneysweeps?
American plumbers?

Will try and think of some more as time rolls on.

oh... Have I strayed too far?
Three days and no reply. Not even many views...
Well,

Rhinologists/Otoloaryngologist would go and see

[hide] as well that ends smell[/hide]

Financeers might go to see the MErchant of Venice. But they'd wish that they went to [hide] all's well that lends well[/hide] or [hide] all's well that spends well[/hide]

<edit>
LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOT NO TAKERS.
will just knock it on its head.

Physios go to As Well that Bends well.
Surgeons go to Alls well that Mends well.
Postmen, Alls well that sends well.
Chimney sweeps go to Doves Labour Lost...

Erectile dysfunction experts probably go to alls well that ends swell.

If you want to be cruel, I suppose you could say that the best-fitting play for most of those on the list would be the [hide]Comedy of Errors[/hide].

Financiers: Definitely (having witnessed staggering inumeracy in that field, notwithstanding the number of HP12Cs on people's desks).
Plumbers: Don't know, is it that bad where you live? (If so I recommend you buy yourself a drain auger, it's really worth it.)
Postmen: US mail arrives pretty fast in NZ, I love US post. :)
Surgeons: no comment (can't afford to get sued).

;D

Ouch. How do I report a message like this to the moderator?

The title of that message looked awful in my inbox, and I had a family member looking over my shoulder.

In the little navigation folder thing at the top of the screen, you'll see

what am i (Moderators: william wu, Eigenray, Grimbal, SMQ, towr, Icarus, ThudnBlunder)

It's not obvious, but those names are links to our profiles; click any of them (towr, Grimbal, and I seem to be the most active at the moment), then click the "Send this member a private message" link in the profile screen. Alternatively, just reply like you did. Either way one of us will take care of it the next time we're around.

Unfortunately this board doesn't get enough traffic to warrant 24/7 moderation, so crap like that may sit around for a few hours, but hopefully no more than that.

Thanks for your participation!

ETA: Sorry for the confusion, Noke Lieu; added a note to playful's post to clarify.
